Chapter 229 - The Swordsmith Village (2/2)

Gazing at the group, the man concluded, ”That is all. My brother will lead you to your stay and the slayers can set up the perimeter around the village as they see fit.

Once again, welcome to the Swordsmith Village.”

With that, the group of masked Swordsmith dispersed as Nik felt his feet spring into motion while making Elizabeth hustle two demons into the village as he walked towards the inner ring of the village without any clear indication.

Yet, from a faint feeling in his heart, Nik already knew of his destination. A left turn and finally, Nik found an equally anxious woman wrapped in a tight, pink kunoichi outfit with a long blade slung behind her back while her jagged, lightning-shaped eyebrows contorted into a frown eased visibly as both of their eyes met.

A smile soon followed on both of their faces.

”Hey there, beautiful... I missed you.”

”... Of course... you did...”

Shigure wished to speak a lot more. She wished to show the fruits of her labor. She wished to pull Nik into her room and hear all about the things she had missed. But first, she wished to pull Nik into a deep and hug and pull she did.

Their bodies instantly wrapped around each other and they duo snuggled around the base of each other's neck while deeply breathing in, taking their scent and allowing them to melt into each other's arms.

It was of course, for the best that being an Incubus, Nik was warranted to never have a bad smell even after traveling for so long.

”Hmm♪ Hmm♪ Hmm♪” Ray hummed a clear, cheerful tone as he made his way across the dark dungeon with skimping steps and a gleeful expression on his face.

After all, this travel was extremely profitable for him. Not only he finally managed to make contact with individuals just like him... the harvest of this world was peculiarly tantalising. The pillars had their own taste and momentum while the kids he pursued had their natural charm. Especially, Inosuke.

But, with this one, not only would he gain a strong member, but also further his own hidden quest— [Protagonist Harem]

A hidden quest!!

Whenever Ray looked at the hidden quest, he would end up giggling foolishly. But, now he held clear understanding that a similar sort of hidden quest may be pursued by Nik and Brian, too.

But, why would that matter to him? Brian was strong and reliable and Nik... well he was pleasing to the eye, nonetheless.

Though, Nik's outright refusal to even consider a single night of passion deeply hurt him... after all, he had offered his own virginity to Nik...

The Jerk!

But...

Hehe

Ray smiled once again as he picked up the familiar dominating scent and entered the chamber only to find a large hole with a grey-haired ogre sitting in between.

Ogre, monsters with green skins and particularly bad breath. Ray had his own encounters with the monsterkins and already knew of these monsters. But, in this world, there shouldn't be any monsters and with Brian already briefing Ray with the situation about the [Monster Paradise], it wasn't hard to connect the dots.

”Where is Muzan?”

Yet, the wars between the systems held no interest to the passion seeking Succubus. His words instantly brought the old man's attention, who stood up and smiled grimly.

”Stagve usnfla uwbdeo—”

”Yeah, yeah, I don't understand.” Ray smiled and waved his arms, instantly, a pink gaze surrounded the entire chamber as he smiled mischievously while his Succu Clones started to fill the entire chamber.

”So, I'll just look into your memory... these clones' treatment are, of course, the payment for your memories.”
